The Sound of Silence

40 pp. | Little | August, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-20337-1 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Julia Kuo. A Japanese boy searches for the sound of silence after an elderly musician tells him that the most beautiful sound is that of "ma," or silence. Young Yoshio listens--in a bamboo grove, in traffic, and at home--but no place is perfectly quiet. Kuo's illustrations fill the double-page spreads with lively scenes from Tokyo's busy streets and Yoshio's peaceful home.
